Chen Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I also want to go out for a run with your dad, but I don't feel comfortable leaving Lili at home alone. She has lost her mother since she was a child, and I am her only relative. I originally wanted to let her I gave it to you, but you have someone else, so I can only guard it by myself."
Zhang Yongsheng was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "Uncle Chen, although Chen Li and I are not destined to be together, it is my duty to take care of her. If you are not at home, I will help her if she needs anything. She is a capable person. She will go out in the future. Studying costs a lot of money, and you can’t afford to support her just by selling vegetables.”
Han Aihua also persuaded: "A Sheng is right, Chen Li will have to spend a lot of money to train her in the future. My boy can only get a college degree, and there is no hope for a graduate degree. Your Chen Li will also be a Ph.D. in the future. If you have enough materials, you might even want to study abroad.”
Chen Wei nodded and sighed: "I have thought about what you said. It's all because I, as a father, am incompetent. Last year, the university contacted the junior class of No. 1 Middle School, and everyone was optimistic about Lili. Lili felt that the tuition fee for the junior class was That’s why I refused to apply because it was too expensive, and I planned to wait until I finish high school.”
This was the first time for everyone to hear about this, and they were all surprised. Zhang Jianxiong said regretfully: "It's such a pity. If I could enter college early, what a bright future I would have in the future. How about you come with me? I'll leave Aihua at home, and you and I will share a car together." The two brothers are just right for each other.”
Chen Wei knew that Zhang Jianxiong was taking care of him, so he declined politely: "How is this appropriate? This is a car that your family bought with a loan, and they have to rely on sports cars to make money to pay off the debt. If I came to play sports cars, wouldn't you suffer a big loss?"
Han Aihua said with a smile: "No loss, no loss. This year my family made money, and we paid off the loan after the New Year. It's all profit. I plan to stay and take care of this kid. He will be a senior in high school soon. I always let him go like this." Don't worry about it. I can help you take care of Chen Li even if I stay at home."
"Mom, you want to stay?" Zhang Yongsheng was surprised: "Actually, you don't have to worry about me. I've been fine alone since you haven't been at home these two years."
Han Aihua glared at him and feigned anger: "What a shit, we didn't keep an eye on you, so you just brought a girl home. If I can still go out with confidence, how great is this feeling? You will be a senior in high school in the second half of the year. You will be in high school soon." Facing the college entrance examination is a major event in life and cannot be taken lightly."
Zhang Jianxiong also nodded and said: "Your mother is right. She will stay and take care of you after the Chinese New Year to prevent you from doing anything wrong. Lao Du told me that you are very restless this semester. Give him You've caused a lot of trouble. I think it's better for someone to keep an eye on you to prevent you from getting out of hand."
Seeing how determined his father was, Zhang Yongsheng had no choice but to silently nod in agreement. He felt a little depressed, as he would not be able to be free in the future. He has too many secrets, and he has been able to keep them a secret even though his parents have been away from home for the past two years. If your mother is watching you, your every move will be easily exposed.
But he couldn't object to this matter, so he could only fool him first and then make long-term plans. Fortunately, his parents were very busy during the Chinese New Year, and Zhang Jianxiong was busy helping the veteran drivers at the freight station organize the fleet, so he didn't pay much attention to him. After the New Year, when his father organized a convoy to leave, he would think of another way.
Next, Zhang Yongsheng set off firecrackers with his parents with peace of mind, immersing himself in the joy of New Year's Eve. He was very happy to be in such an atmosphere. Even though he had been a man for two lifetimes, there were not many people who could experience this kind of moment. Especially when you were wandering around the world in your previous life, how could you have such an opportunity?
Just as everyone in the family courtyard of the freight station was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of firecrackers, the ancient bell in Jinling Temple in Yunxia Mountain rang. The bells faintly reached the city, penetrated the deafening sound of firecrackers around, and broke into the ears of the county residents, telling everyone that the New Year has arrived.
At this moment of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, the sound of bells and firecrackers made everyone very excited, and the commotion continued until almost dawn before it gradually ended. Some residents were very energetic and imitated the practices of large southern temples, and went to Jinling Temple to grab the first incense stick on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It was very lively inside and outside the county.
Zhang Jianxiong has no interest in this approach. In fact, Yunshan has never had this tradition. The bell of Jinling Temple is just a notification of midnight and does not have much meaning. The family finished setting off fireworks and firecrackers in the yard, then said hello to the neighbors in the yard and went upstairs.
Liang Aiping has been staying around the Zhang family, chatting with Han Aihua from time to time, and the atmosphere is relatively harmonious. The neighbors around her were a little embarrassed when they saw her. After all, she usually talked a lot behind people's backs, so it was unnatural to meet her. Liang Aiping didn't take it to heart and still greeted him with a smile.
This New Year's Eve was the most lively New Year's Eve she had had in recent years, and being with the Zhang family also made her forget her loneliness. When I was in Jiangyuan, New Year's Eve in the gang was also very lively. But that kind of environment is very utilitarian, not as warm and family-like as ordinary people's homes.
Bai Zhixuan spent the night at Zhang's house and slept with Zhang Yongsheng. Although Han Aihua felt that it was not good to make the scale too large, Zhang Jianxiong was very supportive of it. He is a forthright person, does not like red tape, and does not care much about various rules. He thinks that Zhang Yongsheng only needs to make no big mistakes.
In his opinion, the two children have already cooked the rice, so there is no point in pretending to avoid suspicion. He also asked Bai Zhixuan to arrange time and planned to visit Bai Zhiyong on the night of the first day of the new year. After all, the two children have developed to this stage, and the parents have not met yet, so it is impossible to talk about it.
Bai Zhixuan is naturally very welcoming, and she also hopes that the matter between herself and Zhang Yongsheng will be finalized. While watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating New Year's Eve dinner, she took the time to make a call to Bai Zhiyong. Bai Zhiyong was living a life of two with his newlywed wife, and he was in a good mood, so he agreed wholeheartedly.
The night of New Year's Eve was very romantic. Zhang Yongsheng and Bai Zhixuan were not in a hurry to go to bed, but stood at the window and watched the fireworks in the distance. Colorful fireworks exploded in the sky, and colorful scenery appeared in the sky. The two leaned against each other and admired it quietly.
After watching it for a long time, the fireworks gradually became smaller, and the people who set off firecrackers went home one after another. The two of them tidied up and went to bed. Their moods were still not calmed down, and they were still immersed in firecrackers and fireworks. They lay in bed without sleeping, but talked about the parents' meeting the next night.
Zhang Yongsheng was a little worried, mainly because Bai Zhiyong had a hot temper and Zhang Jianxiong was no longer a vegetarian, so he was afraid of any conflict between the two. After all, they were actually operating illegally. They got on the bus first and then bought the ticket. This situation would cause trouble wherever they went, and the school couldn't accept it.
